Rugby Club Issue 54 | Page 17

burtonwood bridge We are hoping that the future will bring a further enhancement of the facilities available to our club and community members with the dream of having our own clubhouse based at the Fir Tree Lane pitches. This plan is currently in its infancy but we are hoping that strides can be made to make this dream a reality within the coming months. In 2013 the club won the ‘Twitter’ account of the year award for its efforts on the social media outlet, we have now expanded our social media network by adding our own website, facebook page, YouTube channel and Instagram accounts. These are managed by a former Bulldog in Alex Chesters, and in the last month we have added our own club app available from the apple I-store. We hope in the future that we will become twinned with clubs from every rugby league playing country in the world. This would create commercial, cultural and educational benefits for all. It would be remiss of me to not give a deserved mention to a few individuals who without their commitment and efforts the club would not be in the healthy state it is at the moment with two open age teams, and nine junior and youth teams. So a big thank you goes to Roy Mathias, Kenny Brain, Ernie Collins, Richard Mathias, Tommy Cunningham, Dan Crampton, Ade Burns, Wayne Tapper, Adam Cunningham, Dave Archer, Pete McConnell, Billy Garner, Jeff Barton, Nige Johnson, Graham Southern, Andy Marsh, and Howard Ireland. I can only apologise to those I have missed out. www.burtonwoodbridge.co.uk- Twitter : @ BwoodBridgeRFL www.sportip.biz 17
